Washing Instructions:The Cozy Cushion can be spot cleaned, or you can toss the entire bed into the washer. Hang to dry or place in the dryer on tumble dry low.

"Every dog should have a bed--for warmth, comfort, and the security of having a place of his or her own."

Dogs tend to select couches, chairs, or beds as a place to rest or sleep. They prefer the comfort and warmth these items of furniture offer compared to a hard floor. Dog beds provide the same comfort benefits and they keep pets off furniture - an important consideration for many pet owners who prefer to keep their furniture free from pet hair. A bed introduced at an early age, reinforced with consistent training, will keep your pet off your furniture for his or her entire life.

Where you place your dog's bed is entirely up to you and your dog. Just remember it is his or her resting place so it's best not to place it in a high traffic area of your home. Many pet owners place their pet's bed in their cage or crate once he or she is house trained, while others prefer a location near where they spend much of their time so their companion is always nearby. We offer a wide selection of styles and color choices that enable you to choose a bed and changeable cover that complements your decor.

I have 2 of these pads. I LOVE them. My dog loves them and the cats do too. They have so many uses. You can put them in a crate or on furniture to protect it or give them a comfy place to sleep. I find that wherever I put them is where the animals are. They are durable and easy to throw in the machine to wash!
I hope they are never discontinued!!

I have a 120 lb Alaskan Malamute who is 12 years old and loves the outdoors. She has always had a dog door from indoors to outdoors and loves it. I just rented a new house and that isn't possible but I do have a fenced yard and an unheated back porch that I can install a dog door into. I will gone 8 hours a day a few days a week starting in late Jan. so I want to put in a dog door and find a way to keep her warm enough on frigid days in the Northeast. The floor is concrete so I thought I'd put in pallets with plywood as a base to get her off the floor and then could either put in an electric warming pad under her favorite comforter or a self heating bed to reflect her body heat on top of the comforter. It can get to 20 below zero on a bad day but my neighbor (who also has a mal) can let her in on those days after a few hours. Suggestion?

If your enclosed porch has lighting, you might consider warming bulbs and leaving them on. We have found they can produce enough heat to take the chill out of the air. Ask at the hardware store, with safety questions about the bulbs.In a very large area, certain kind of spot- or flood- lights are designed to give off some heat, but they might be kind of expensive to run.I am more concerned that your arthritic Malamute have good padding under her. You can then add a self-warming blanket over that. I don't think a hard pallet with a comforter is enough padding for a 120 lb. dog with aches and pains of aging. I prefer the "egg crate" type padding (medical grade) in a bed for an older dog. Memory foam has been a hit or miss with my dogs. Drs. Foster and Smith have great protective under covers to keep the foam from smelling or getting wet, as it is hard to clean. Everything else around and above it can be laundered.

The Porch is completely enclosed and no wind. Even with -4 degree wind chill this week, water hasn't frozen out there so I think the added warmth of this pad will be fine with her heavy Malamute coat. She loves the snow!

I have one and use it for my German Shepherd to lie on at work. The floor is concrete and this bed although thin keeps her warm. It has a mylar interior which is what emergency blankets are made from. They absorb the person's or in this case dog's warmth and radiate it back to them. I would also suggest that if you must leave your dog outside for extended periods that you purchase a lined water resistant coat, not a sweater for your dog to wear while outside.

Also on the back porch lay a pile of staw where you plan to put the pallets most likely towards the middle of the porch and try to make a barrier between her and the wind and face it if possible to the south.

I have 2 miniature schnauzers who are famous for destroying dog beds by tearing a hole in the material (especially if there is a zipper on it) and pulling out ALL the stuffing, so I am looking for a pad to put in their doghouse that does not have that fluffy, cottony material inside it so they will not be tempted to destroy it!

This blanket is fairly flat. It is not what I would call "stuffed", doesn't have any of that thick white stuff or any foam inside.Dogs can "make their bed" by rearranging the blanket to their liking. There is no zipper or opening for that matter. The whole thing goes in the washer and dryer like any other blanket. The reflective material inside is an extremely thin sheet of NASA-developed material. You can't "hear" it or detect it, it doesn't crinkle. Although I bought a cat self-warming bed years ago by mistake and it did crinkle, but it was supposed to. My dogs did not know what to think of it! I rolled it up and put it in a small crate, and my dachshund crawled in there and loved it.

I do not think they are chew resistant. They are like a regular fleece covered pad. My neighbor's dog chews up absolutely everything too - and I have been unable to find ANYTHING that works for this dog. My dream would be to find a bed covererd in some sort of chain mail that would be soft and warm.
